Block Island, Rhode Island
Take a break and spend the day on beautiful Block Island! Just 7 miles long and 3 miles wide, this idyllic island is a great escape for anyone. Once we dock at Old Harbor, which is
a National Historic District with many Victorian buildings, walk just a short distance to the National Hotel where lunch will be served.
Choose from:
Chicken Breast, seafood casserole, or grilled salmon.
We will also board a private island bus for a guided tour of this special island and have some time to shop on your own before our return to the mainland.

Ellis Island & Statue of Liberty including the Statue of Liberty Museum
Ellis Island: From 1892 to 1954, millions of immigrants began their American dream here: The Great Hall, where the immigrants were processed, the four rooms where immigrants were detained.
When today's visitors disembark at Ellis Island, they stand under the recreated historic canopy - the same point where immigrants began the process toward American citizenship.

Statue of Liberty:
She is an icon, a national treasure, and one of the most recognizable figures around the globe. The new Statute of Liberty Museum represents an exciting new chapter in Lady Liberty's story of freedom.
Round trip Ferry Ticket allows you to depart Liberty Park, NJ and get off at both Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty Island.
Included with your admission at each island and the new museum are Audio Guides for each island inviting visitors to relive the immigrant experience as if you were the new arrival.

Afternoon visit to America's premier Living History Museum, Pilmoth Planation. Experience a re-creation of the daily lives of these early colonists and the native Wampanoag.

Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Restaurant
Come see the World Premiere of this hilarious Christmas Comedic Farce! During the holiday season. Carol tends to take Christmas too far at work with decorations, presents, and overbearing traditions that not everyone celebrates in the office. Her co-workers love Carol, but this time of year she gets on everyone's last nerve, so they formulate a plan for the company party that night. With wacky office hijinks, pranks, an office romance, and e4ven people caught in their underwear, will they be able to help Carol remember the true meaning of Christmas? 
The Newport Playhouse will now offer a staff-served buffet with a variety of hot entrees, salads, veggies, dessert, fruit and beverages.
